The Power of Eye Contact in Parenting
How many times have you told your child something while they're staring at a phone, a TV, or basically anywhere except at you? 😂
In this short from The Chris & Mike Show, Coach Keith Dorscht explains why something as simple as eye contact can make a huge difference when communicating with your kids.
It's not just about getting them to “look at you when I'm talking.” Eye contact can help create connection and signal that this moment matters. Before correcting behavior, giving instructions, or trying to have an important conversation, establishing that connection can change how the message is received.
Coach Keith talks with Chris and Mike about how parents can sometimes focus so heavily on what they're saying that they forget about the connection happening while they're saying it.
And this doesn't mean turning every conversation into an intense stare-down. 😂
It's about being present. Getting on their level. Putting distractions aside. Looking at each other and making sure there's a connection before expecting communication to work.
Because sometimes your child doesn't need you to talk louder.
They need you to connect better.
